“Get everyone you know, and everyone you don’t know, drag them to register to vote,” said Elon Musk at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction.”

Trump later invited Musk on stage. The X owner walked on wearing a black blazer over a shirt saying “Occupy Mars” and a black MAGA hat. “As you can see, I’m not just MAGA,” said Musk. “I’m dark MAGA.” Dark MAGA is a memecoin, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by online trends. The valuation of Dark MAGA soared right around the time that Musk spoke.
That’s so grifty. So overtly grifty that it’s approaching “hello fellow kids” levels of transparency. Up there with Jordan Peterson and Russell Brand praying together. It’s just strange and funny to see these grifters all clumping together like this.
Grifters go where the easiest marks are.
OK Nostradamus. I’ll file that prediction alongside “Full self drive in 2018” and “Mars landing in 2024”
Aha.

Now it makes sense.
Also, I am really enjoying their new, desperate voter registration drive. I think they figured out that a bunch of January 6th insurrectionists didn’t even bother voting.
That’s it, just grifting a shitcoin? Are we sure there isn’t some kind of paramilitant dog whistle or something that the article writer missed?
I actually assumed it was because Dark Brandon was popular and getting things done.
Could honestly be both. I dimly remember “dark MAGA” being a thing in 2020 to denote the weird racist accelerationists.
why vote if it’s all rigged anyway?
You know, im starting to think this “Elon Musk” character isn’t such a great guy…
The last election they have a chance at winning before MAGA impodes
trump may be done after this but I don’t think MAGA is going anywhere.
There’s no apparent successor and there hasn’t been any attempt by Trump to nudge anyone towards that (he doesn’t give a shit about a post-Trump lanscape), but a half dozen people would attempt to claim it as their own, so if MAGA does survive it’d probably be really messy for a while.
Normally we use conventions for this kind of thing but they’d be competing against traditional Republicans in that space, so I’m expecting to see MGT and DJT and Boebert and a bunch of others just try to pull each other’s hair out, like an obscenely wealthy grandparent that had no will and no clear next of kin.
The heirarchal structure is basically Donald so the risk of the entire collective decapitating itself is pretty high
Trump’s got kids ya know.
I know. Will they work together or back an outsider of a presumptive nominee such as MTG? Or will they all just duke it out while a more mainstream Republican capitalizes on the dysfunction? We’ll find out soon enough
they won’t necessarily need to duke it out if Sr unequivocally endorses and campaigns for one.
Considering the civil war did not end the idea of the confederation you are probably right.
True, but from what I see, no one seems to love the others nearly as much as Trump for some weird reason. Every other evil person they throw up there doesn’t seem to get the same attention, thankfully. I hope it stays that way…
I think that will change in the absence of Trump as a candidate, especially if he throws his weight behind one of his kids.
This is kinda a natural result of authoritarian structures going back millennia. It’s a big king of the hill game, because nobody up top is really in it for the movement, they’re in it for themselves.
I would point to the old monarchies of Europe as an excellent example of this all playing out though, with a huge number of individual data points to work with.
Avoiding this whole mess is one of the primary purposes of democratic forms of government.
I think Elon Musk is worried about his Tesla stock. He knows Democrats will pave the way for EV cars, but Republicans will and have already put up roadblocks to EVs. By joining their side, he makes it harder for Republicans to paint EVs as “a democrat thing.” Even Trump is like “I guess I have to support EVs now, because Elon Musk supports me.”
I bet that is a significant reason he has cozied up to the Republican side in recent years.

Or he’s just a fascist money hoarder
¿Porque no los dos?
i legitimately don’t understand why this is happening other than maybe he gets more lobbying power over this guy for less money than a democrat
He thinks if the Republicans win then they will let him do whatever crazy thing he plans on doing without any oversight.
Maybe he’s trying to corner the EV market through the Republicans. If the Democrats make it more attractive for all manufactures to make EVs, Tesla loses
The orange felon, RFK Jr and Musk, quit a collection of misfits, adulterers and greedy liars. Oh wait, RFK Jr must have been off somewhere collecting roadkill.

Nah, he was in court arguing why he should be taken off the ballot in red states while also arguing why he should remain on the ballot in blue states. Cause you know, he’s totally not a spoiler candidate.
they must have been impressed by his impeccable performance on the stage with chapelle
He missed an opportunity to present dark maga coins in a blackface.
All of MAGA is DarkMAGA
Last election ? Not a chance of that.
It’s a veiled threat of a hostile takeover
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
